Abstract
A control device of a hybrid vehicle' comprises a driving plan generating partsetting a driving mode, an output control partcontrolling outputs of the internal combustion engineand the motor, and a lower limit value setting partsetting a lower limit value of a state of charge of the battery. The driving plan generating part divides a plurality of routes into pluralities of sections, and sets driving modes of all sections of at least one route to an EV mode. If an actual state of charge of the battery becomes lower than the lower limit value, the output control part changes the driving mode so that the actual state of charge is maintained or becomes higher. The lower limit value setting part lowers the lower limit value at an EV route, compared with a non-EV route other than the EV route.
